Pathetic ASX bucks boom again

David Llewellyn-Smith

Thursday 18 January 2018

Dalian is up a bit today:

But nothing can boost the pathetic ASX which is down marginally despite a spectacular lead from offshore:

Big Iron has a soggy rebound:

Big Gas is correcting solidly:

Big Gold may sense a bottom for DXY:

Big Sleazy enjoyed the mixed labour data but it needs a much less rosy economic outlook to rally:

Big Realty is up, especially MEA. No news that I can find. Perhaps it is the hope that McGrathmageddon will resign here too:

A sad and sorry bourse indeed.
